The turkey they -gave us was hot when it came out of the pans, but frozen before we could eat it. You couldn't even light a cigarette at night. One time I did and there were six of us there. I bet we drew 500 rounds of enemy fire. How has your treatment been since coming home? At The government has been pretty good to me.

About two hours before the fatal accident, Sara and her father involved in an accident in which Schoen swerved off a road south of White Cloud to miss an oncoming car and struck a road sign. Neither was injured in that accident, but the car could not be driven, state police said. Karen Schoen picked them up at the state police post. The older Schoens were wearing seat belts, but Sara's belt had been loosened so she could sleep, police said.

"I didn't even realize it was the same people right at first because I didn't recognize the woman driving," said Trooper Harry Paulsen, who assisted in the first accident.

James Roberts of Murfreesboro; four sisters, Mrs. Eliza Wagner of Flint, Mrs. Margaret Kidd of MaryviUe, Mrs. School (Continued from page one) agreed "to a point. There are certain things we need to be able to discuss before they are out into the public.

Mrs. Brown said the board would enjoy better communication and would know the "background" of the issues and "get the whole story" before voting. "(Sometimes) we are unaware of things until we get there (to the meeting) she added. "I think there is some merit to it," Murfreesboro Mayor Joe B. Jackson said.

City Council appoints the Murfreesboro school board. The county board is elected. False accusations made at a public meeting could damage a school employee's career, Jackson said. "You don't want to harm a person's life or family he said. Although Jackson said there are certain times when preliminary matters should be secret, "decisions should be done in open." The mayor also added contract 'negotiators could be put in an "unfair" position when one side's posi-tion is made public.

The law presently does allow some private con-t tract discussions. Councilman John Pittard noted that problems in the areas of per-'sonnel, negotiations and land contracts might be "more easily handled" in secret meetings. "But the price you pay for doing it vwould be the public's perception that you can operate behind closed 'doors," Pittard said. "School boards are concerned about their effectiveness." School boards and City Council, he 'said, depend on the confidence of the "All good laws have their down Pittard said. "There's a certain price paid by democracy." "I feel that there are issues that can be better resolved vithdiit the public becoming involved in the discussion," said city board member Susie Rucker.

Although none could cite specific examples of where the law had hurt board activities, all said the changes would be better for the school Rock (Continued from page one) when the final plans were submitted there had been personnel changes and they were not approved," Fite said. "You start trying to hit a moving target when you're dealing with the fire marshall." The fire marshall required a sprinkler system costing about $70,000 to be added to the school, plus an elevator and two wheelchair lifts, Fite said. "That was the bulk of the additional costs at McFadden," he noted. Commissioners were assured the two new high schools would not have fiat roofs, which are prone to leak, and were told the schools are being designed to accommodate a maximum of 1,500 students. Some 1,200 students are anticipated at each School during 1988, the first year of Deration.

J'S The $32.7 million school system budget approved by the commission Represents an increase of $1.3 million from the $31.4 million limit the county commission originally set. Last month the commission approved some $680,000 in additional funds for the schools, and this month raised the ante by another $500,000. "They now have the equivalent of funding for everything they asked for originally, except the implementation of the Governor's Task Force recommendations," said finance director Randall Matlock earlier. The commission approved $75,000 for use in non-recurring portions of the Task Force recommendations, which will come from the county's last receipt of federal revenue sharing funds.

Moore, meanwhile, must help forge coalitions between Republicans and Democrats or his mostly Republican constituents will vote him out, Rucker said. Speaker Wilder has not had to try to forge coalitions very often mainly because the system is set up to concentrate much of the power within, the speaker's position, Rucker "I don't want to come across as critical of Speaker Wilder I criticize. the be said. Presently, the speaker becomeslf member of all the powerful mittees and boards. With Wilder's system.

"I know of no specific examples immediately, but I know it has happened in the past," Mrs. Corlew said. Mrs. Rucker said she also knew of no specific examples, but said if certain "sensitive" personnel issues did come up, "I'd rather it not be before the public." She listed suspension of students as a "sensitive" issue. Rutherford County's delegation to the Legislature said they did not know the specifics of the proposal, but generally favored the Sunshine Law.

"I have always favored the Sunshine Law," said state representative and county board chairman Fred Hobbs. "I would have to know the reasoning behind the proposal "I don't favor closed door meetings." State Rep. John Bragg said the request is nothing new and he will not support weakening the Sunshine Law, State Sen. John Rucker said he wanted more time to look at the proposal. "I am not prepared to take a firm stand," he said.

"I want to wait and see what bill is drafted and how it is worded." Rucker said he has never voted to weaken the Sunshine Law, but could appreciate the school boards' position. His son, John Rucker is a member of the city school board. He was unavailable for comment. Rucker said compromise is a possibility and the two sides may be able to "sit down and find some middle ground." County board member Sylvia Beckman said she would neither support nor work against the proposal. She said she would "abide by the state's ruling." Newly elected county board member E.

A. Bowman declined comment. "It hasn't been brought to my attention yet," he said. The Sunshine Law, passed in 1974, states "all meetings of any governing body are declared to be public meetings ppen to the public at all times, except as provided by the Tennessee Constitution:" The commission also approved the lease of 18 acres of land and four buildings to the National Guard. The last large tract at the old Smyrna Air-Base which the county bought for development several years ago, it will be used as headquarters for a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) unit recently established in Smyrna.

The National Guard has a one-year lease with the option to buy the land. Sgt. Ken Thompson said earlier that is the Guard's intention. Commissioners delayed action on a request by the road board to lower the speed limit to 20 mph on roads near the rock quarry in the Blackman community, noting the limit on these roads now is 55 mph. Road superintendent Willard Richardson said the board acted on the request of area residents who had been forced off the road by fast-moving gravel trucks coming from the quarry.

Commissioner Dick Meadow, in whose district the quarry is located, said the commission would not have to worry with lowered speed limits for long. "The way these roads are, and the punishment they are taking, you won't be able to go more than 10 miles per hour on them by spring," he said. The commission also approved purchase of a computer for the sheriff's department for $108,000, to be finairced by a 30-day capital outlay note -which will be paid from' the county's debt service fund at the end of that time. The commission also approved using $25 from each ambulance service bill toward an ambulance service building fund, a new line-item in the budget. concentration of power for so long, many are unable to have input into such influential boards as the state Building Commission.

Rucker added the new speaker would be limited to two two-year terms, or no more than four consecutive years. That would make the new speaker "be a little' more careful" ia his actions. Meanwhile "if he's got four of his colleagues looking over his shoulder," the new speaker would have to work with members of both parties in passing legislation. Rucker noted the committee members changed the under, AMlch the. presently operates.

The new system would also be phased in over a number of years, Rucker said. Darrel 5 Graves; DUI. Robert Edward second! offense driving while license revoked! Hardy E. Warrick third offenst" DUI. Linda K.

How fierce was the fighting during the early stages? That first year my whole platoon was replaced about five times. I was 17 like I said and you grew up fast. There were 36 or 38 men in it, and only three of the original group came home. We were within 10 or 11 miles of Manchuria when the Chinese got into the war. There were thousands of them coming at us.

Some had nothing but pitchforks in their hands, and they pushed young children in front of them. They didn't care any more for life than you'd care for a match you light. We had to fire our mortars point blank and then dodge the shrapnel from our own shells. They were that close. My commander told me to take a machine gun and get up on a hill and try to stop them.

I took two other men with me. "We melted down three gun barrels and they were still coming. Then we took a direct hit with a mortar shell. The lieutenant and sergeant were killed. I woke up in Tokyo in the Tokyo General Hospital.

Sara Schoen of Kentwood died en route to a hospital after the car in which she was riding collided head-on with another vehicle in Grant Township early Sunday, said state police Sgt. Henry Lingle.

Riding in the car with Sara were her father, Douglas Schoen, 30, of Wyoming; and her aunt, Karen J. Schoen, 19, also of Wyoming.

"We left it up to the individual owners; some will have a touch of Christmas, but some will really be decked out," Mrs. Mingle said.

"We will also have horse drawn wagon rides around the streets," she said. The evening will end at the Auburn School cafeteria where a "turkey dinner with all the trimmings" will be served, Mrs. Mingle said. Dinner will be served from 4 to 8 p.m. "It's advisable to buy tickets to the dinner in advance because we can only serve 350, and we're already getting close to that," Mrs.

Mingle said. Tickets for the dinner are $5 for adults and $2.50 for children. Local businesses will also have open houses all day, and store owners are busy sprucing up their businesses for the event. Visitors will enjoy browsing through Country Village Antiques and McKnight House Antiques as well as Lea Bek Creations, a custom curtain shop; The Golden Rule, a wood shop and Nickels Old-Time Country Store. Visitors might choose a Christmas present or two, such as the split oak locally handmade baskets that will be sold at the country store.

Organizers hope the Christmas village will benefit the community as well as entertain the visitors. "Most of the proceeds will go for community improvements," Mrs. Mingle said.
